Esham Pickering-Sean Hughes II, Rod Anderton-Hamed Jamali, Steve Saville-Baz Carey and Martin Concepcion-D Mitchell are the best fights I’ve seen live this year.

TV-wise, Tony Oakey-Dean Francis will take some beating.

I enjoyed Margarito-Cintron ll. Cintron started very well and landed some real bombs on Tony's noggin, but the Tijuana Tornado took his best shots with a smile, then broke him down mentally and physically.

As for domestic dust-ups, Mitchell-Johanneson was a cracker.

I am a bit pro British so Mitchell-Johanneson and Khan-Gomez. On the International scene the Pacman fight for me.

Vazquez-Marquez was a cracker...Pacquaio-Marquez II was technically probably my favourite. Ivan Valle-Jose Reyes was a real up and downer.

Danny Williams-Konstantin Airich for it's comedic value :TU:

I'm a big fan of Margarito v Cintron II as well. Even though Tony chewed him up, he took huge shots - more than enough to make it a memorable, exciting fight.

Domestically, Francis-Oakey is the best one, to me. Then Mitchell-Johanesson. I'm sure there were plenty more good fights, but can't remember. Have to mention Rogan-Dolan, the exciting Prize Fighter final. Good event and a fine finish, with thew underdog winning...just.

Khan v Gomez is another good one. Murray-Meager too one-sided, despite both going in there from the start.

Well it certainly wasn't Calzaghe-Hopkins, that's for sure! :D

I'd say Vazquez-Marquez 3 has been the best so far, although last week's bout between Cotto-Margarito is right up there in my opinion.

There was talk about Marquez-Vazquez 4 happening, but I think each guy should fight someone else in the meantime, then talk about a possible fourth bout. I mean, they must be getting sick of seeing the site of each other. Both epitomize boxing.

Vasquez v Marquez 3 will be difficult to beat.

Also enjoyed Casamayor v Katsidis, Pavlik v Taylor 2, Pacquiao v Marquez 2 and Cotto v Margarito.

Domestically Mitchell v Johanneson stands out for me but Khan v Gomez and Oakey v Francis aren't far behind.

Pacman - Marquez
Cotto - Margarito
Mitchell-Johanneson
Khan - Gomez

all pretty much go without saying

two domestics from left field are:
minter - jennings
chisora - sexton (awful standard, but bloody good fun)
